Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in VLC Media Player, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
1) An error within the ActiveX plugin of VLC Media Player can be exploited to overwrite certain memory zones and execute arbitrary code when a user e.g. visits a malicious website.
Note: This affects the Windows versions only.
2) Some vulnerabilities are caused due to the use of a vulnerable version of the FLAC library, which contains multiple integer overflows.
For more information:
SA27210
Note: This may affect the Windows and Mac OS X binaries only.
